Well, I'm going to be away Tuesday and Wednesday, as my work has asked me to go to a store in the far north of Alberta for two shifts. I'll stay in the town overnight between them at hotel on Walmart's dime, and my meals and gas will be paid for as well. I could use the extra work, but I'll be without a computer for the two days, so more than likely you guys wont hear from me until I get back. Super hugs to all.

Hi

I know it is off topic, but for any musical theatre fans out there, tonight Wicked! is celebrating an anniversary, and after the performance they are webcasting a special Encore with the whole cast performing in concert mode, a song that was voted on by fans.

It will only be availble tonight at 9pm EDT.

You can catch it at http://www.livestream.com/wickedbroadway?rsvptoeventid=418277

This is streaming some older content right now.

At 9pmEDT it will also be available at

http://www.youtube.com/officialwicked

It's only about 15 minutes away.

I have been told that I was not clear in my Blog on the above noted program. According to the CBC's website, the program airs tonight, October the 30th at 22:00. It is followed by one titled "The Third Sex" at 23:00.

My apologies for any confusion I may have caused. I have a DVD player hooked to my boob tube but have never used it but will try tonight if the weather is clear - I only have satellite reception - no reception when there is nothing to do but watch TV - LOL.

I hope the program lives up to the trailer I saw.

The CBC has announced that its program "The Passionate Eye" will present a documentary next Sunday at 22:00 eastern time dealing with transgendered children and their parents. The trailer, shown tonight, led me to believe that the parents were supportive and the children young.

This for your information in case that you are interested in viewing.

I have stopped writing, I know I just posted a little while ago so people may not have noticed.

Here's what you've all be waiting for - more of book 9!

I got the final word just this afternoon.

My Chemotherapy starts around noon on Monday.

And I have been accepted into the trial study of the immunosuppressant inoculations. There was a fifty fifty chance I would actually receive the injections, and the other fifty percent, that I would just be in the other half, being monitored periodically the rest of my life.

This week I've really been out of it, but I wanted to post the two stories I had ready. Knight and Dragon to BCTS and Spinning to StarDust. However, like I said I've been ill and actually messed up the title to my own story. LOL! I posted it as Dragon and Knight instead of Knight and Dragon. Even that wasn't the original title because someone else posted a St. George and the Dragon tale. The two stories are very different but I changed mine because I like all authors want to be remembered and unique. Then working on my Voodun story, I saw someone had posted one with that in the title too!

I just wanted to thank all my readers for their response to my latest effort, St. George and the Dragon. I was concerned that the reception might be considerably less positive than it was. Those of you who have been reading it know that the theme is not tightly tied to the TG experience; however, many of the trials one of the characters goes through are directly due to the homophobic beliefs of the people in the circle where she lives.

I got up this morning had a stretch and opened the curtains and smiled.

Not a bad view and I didn't need Photoshop. The mist on the ground over the fields was lovely.

Channel four is airing a documentary series as from the 8th November. "My Transexual Summer."

It portrays four MtF's and two FtM's undergoing SRS together.

Despite the dubious title judging by the trailers the subject will be handled sensitively and candidly. (I hope so anyway.)

Sorry to say, those outside the UK may not have access.

Though I haven't lived in San Jose since 2010, I still read the online version of the paper. I did live there or work within the range of the printed paper from 1973 - 2010, and have many friends living there, so I still identify with the city. Besides, I like their online comics!

This article,
http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_19199091

about the murder of a transgendered woman does give her name as James (Lucie) Parkin.

But, it states that her transgendered status was not the cause of the murder, and most importantly,

ALL OF THE PRONOUNS USED FOR HER ARE FEMALE.

And it seems that Bobby will be a Girl Scout.

Well, I've noticed a slowdown in my writing. I hope its just a temporary thing.

Just to let everyone know how well things are going at BCTS, we have been averaging over 100 new stories and chapters a week for several weeks.

This is a last ditched effort to save my site from being lost forever. I would assume that if you clicked the link to open this message, you would know who I am (Dawn Hamilton) or on this site as (Rountree Dawn) and what my site was (transgender tales from Roundtree Bay)

well, my little experiment with tampons is over. While the feeling was slightly uncomfortable, it wasnt horrible. Assuming it felt at all like what a g-girl feels like once a month, I have more appreciation for what they go through ...

mostly, for me this was mostly about being able to be stimulated there without feeling "dirty." In doing this, I took a little more ownership of my body today, and that's a good thing

Just wanted to post a quick note and let everyone know that the Robinverse is officially live!

I have read most of Tanya Allans books and one Nick B book on my Kindle from Amazon.Can anyone tell me of any other BCTS authors on Amazon.co.uk please.
P.S the two authors I have allready read I would recommend to all.

This is an apology to all those who commented on my story Alone. Normally, I try to give everyone a PM or a comment in reply. However right now, real life is being a real bear with coming down with a cold, and the usual bumps in the road of bad fortune. Like all authors I regard each one like they were gold, but right now I'm really out of it.
Big Hugs to everyone and I promise to get to those thank yous when I can.

All together now: awwwwwwwwwwwwww!And from Cathy's neck of the woods.

I thought I would share this for the benefit of those contemplating getting SRS. Hopefully you will be wiser because of what I am going to share.

Mine was done in Bankok, Thailand by Dr Kamon on August 15, 2006.

From the beginning Dialation of the Faux Vagina was problematic. The actual surgery was extremely simple and I had an almost pain free recovery. During post op Dilations of three times a day, I managed to achieve 1 1/4 inch diameter and 4 1/2 inch depth. When I left, I felt well but weak.

NaMoWriMo is this next month. (I hope I have that right)

I have never particiapated in it, but I believe this year I will give it a try. 3 years ago I had a good writing spell during Nov. and ended up writing 35,000 words. So I hope with a little bit of planning I can make the 50,000 word goal.

I've finished editing the first 37 chapters of HaP and am working on a detailed outline for the next 10+ chapters. I also have Princess and the Jock to re-write since the first few chapters were disasterous with errors. I could also work on Rock,Paper,Scissors.

For a few days I have been looking for my 38B padded push up bra, as I have a nice little dress that really makes the girls stand out. UM well, I'm not 38, but I use an extender and that brings it out to my 42. And before anyone says it, no it does not work that well because the straps always fall off my shoulders.

So, anyhow, my black bra was missing. :( So I made do and went out. Well, this morning my black bra was laying on top of my charging cell phone, so I know it was not there before last night. So, who returned my black bra?

I am really missing the comments I hardly get anymore. I will still keep writing I guess but I lack feedback on how sections of my story are going. Just to let you know comments may not make me change where a story is going, but they can improve what needs to be improved or help me continue what I am doing right.

Well, I was thinking about "girl lessons", and I want to go into some detail on the subject. See, because of what happened to me, I not only fought against my need to be feminine like my life depended on it, whenever I did give in and let Dorothy out, I struggled with feeling like I could never really be a girl anyway - never look like one, never really act like one. Compliments like the one I got yesterday are helping me move past those anxieties, but very, very slowly, and it still comes up on occasion. So keep cheering Team Dorothy, its really making a difference....

Who is this guy? Is he in the US congress or Senate?

Hi ladies 'n gentle beings! 'Tis I, Diana, your loopy Moongoddess, anxious and eager to share a wonderful, beautiful look at the city i call home.

Toronto Tempo is a short time-lapse film that really shows off the T-Dot in a way that no recent film has.

I hope you enjoy a wee vacation :) when you get to veemo, probably best to switch hi def off as it slows down the stream... Anyways... welcome to my city!
Hugs,
Diana

Sorry I am drawing blanks on Angel Marquez. I know where I want to go with the story, but the words have escaped me. I have also been flooded with other stories that just had to get out. I won't forget it but...

Well, the last couple of days, I've been arguing with my muse, and its been going like this:

Me: Time to get working on "Quest"

Her: I'm bored of that story. I wanna do something else.

Me: Like what?

Her: Like a sequel to "The Dead Kid,"

Me: Hmmm. Okay, lets see what that looks like ...

(Later)

Me: I dont know, it might be too close to the first one.

Her: Not a problem. We could do another autobiographical story.

Me: I do like talking about myself...

(Later)

I'm currently writing a story consisting of a mash-up of several fairy tales, with the obligatory TG twist. Courtesy of death threats made shortly after birth, the protagonist (currently about 6 years old) is prohibited from leaving the (small) castle where (s)he lives. However, at some point before the teenage years start, she will need to leave the castle so various assassination attempts (all of which will, of course, be unsuccessful) can take place.

Work yesterday sucked. Rained all day, cleaned off a back patio of a recently vacated townhouse that they are getting ready to start showing first thing, then just blew wet leaves about all day with the blower. Wasn't the most efficient use of time, but it was the most efficient I could do with the rain, and the leaves just had to be blown away from the walkways, rain or not. Nothing terribly interesting happened, though I have mostly written a psalm in my head that I just need to mesh out in writing, which I intend to do tomorrow.

Hi

I have just published EMMA on Kindle. Please note, you can still read it here for free, but if you did want to add it to your collection.. find it here Tanya Allan's Page

More up on Kindle soon, and then I shall complete my unfinished work here.

Tanya.

After reading the story A Love Like No Other by Little Katie, I started reading the stories she linked to. Two of those stories, A Different Kind of Life and How Life Can Change, are very similar as to the circumstances that befall the main protagonist (in both cases a 9 year old boy). But the behaviour of the respective parents are exactly oposites of each other.

I'm working on the next few parts To Tracy's story. I want to get a few stories ahead before I start posting. I promise it is coming soon.

I could tease ya with a snippet. But I'm not that mean.

OOPS I GOOFED

Look, no callin the cops or any other drama, OK?

I'm just really needing to hear if their is any new research on Transgender Genetics. I mean NEW. I do not mean the stuff that gets warped to conform to our own wishes, but real science. I follow this stuff closely, and if it is not dated 2011, it is probably not new to me. Sorry, don't mean to sound snotty, snide or snasty. My stress levels are just off the chart right now. I'm aware of the study recently done in OZ.

Hello! I've posted 'No Man's Hand' here at BCTS, and have another new story up at StarDust. As usual I'll give it a week there before moving it over. It's named 'Knight and Dragon' and although it is also features a Dragon, the two stories aren't related. This latest tale let me explore my all time favorite D&D magical item, so please enjoy!

Well, I did a bottle run today, and took the money and got a pedicure for the first time. Even though I was in pants and without a wig, the staff treated me well, even when I asked for pink nail polish on my toes. Its funny how much a little thing like that can make me feel so much better.

I stumbled upon a site that mentioned a site I didn't recall by name.

Story Site This is of course "Crystal's" storysite but I didn't recall at the time so I clicked on the link.

I was quite disappointed when the site didn't load so I googled it.

so I tried the links in google but it was surely down.

Has anyone heard if Storysite finally died or is crystal working on it?

A news update would be appreciated.

Dayna.

I'm doing well, and still ahead of the surgeon's expectations ... BUT
There had to be a but, didn't there?

I've known for two weeks that in the pathology lab work, they found that one of the 17 lymph nodes that were in the removed mass had cancer cells in it. But I was not able to see the oncologist till today, so only a few people have been told.

There was a certain amount schadenfreude mixed in with fascination when I read this story on a blogsite.

I don't have the blogsters permission for the link, but I've never heard of a blogger refusing traffic.

Controversial Therapy for Pre-Teen Transgender Patient Raises Questions

Fox news dug this one up, young boy on hormone blockers with lesbian moms, this could start a huge stink.
